This software is based in part on the work of the FreeType Team.
See <URL:http://www.freetype.org/>.
Installation of the Linux base system is finished. The Linux kernel
mode, which must be enabled for Linux binaries to run, is now
enabled. Linux mode can be enabled permanently with the linux_enable
variable of rc.conf(5).
To make use of NIS you have to adjust yp.conf and nsswitch.conf in
/compat/linux/etc/ accordingly. For example:
Set your yp-server and yp-domainname in yp.conf:
domainname my.yp.domainname
ypserver my.yp.server
Let your lists for hosts, passwd and group be resolved via nsswitch.conf:
passwd: files nis
shadow: files nis
group: files nis
hosts: files dns nis
WARNING: doing work which needs to chroot into the linux base may not work.
In such cases (e.g. cross-development) you are better suited with a linux_dist
port.
